True about court seizing one report (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recital

'report' is the definition.
(I know that recital is a type of report)

'true about court seizing one' is the wordplay.
'true' becomes 'real' (synonyms).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'seizing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'ct' enclosing 'i' is 'cit'.
'real' enclosing 'cit' is 'RECITAL'.

(Other definitions for recital that I've seen before include "Soloist's performance" , "Concert by soloist" , "Article (anag)" , "Maybe solo musical performance" , "Article about musical entertainment" .)
